Finally managed to complete the list of world exchanges.

I have done my best to include as much as possible. If you notice any errors (very likely!) please post on this thread. Thank you.

IB has a listing of exchanges it trades on.
It is quite a long list.

Thanks for the post, I've often thought about trading the Nikkei, Topix futures. I like trading ES & I've heard of traders trading Asian futures at night, but have no idea where to start. Any comments or advice on brokers or the pros & cons of trading Asian futures from the US is appreciated.....ST

InteractiveBrokers serves the most territories and products.

They have an office in Hong Kong; the Asian coverage is very good.

The cheapest commission to date in Japan is provided by Click Securities at 96JPY RT for the mini Nikkei and 700JPY for the big.

Unfortunately I do not see any english support or platform available. Also I noticed that interactive brokers no longer open accounts for Japanese citizens... apparently our regulatory agency gave them alot of crap for taking local clients. IB needs to establish a branch in Japan before accepting any new clients... is what I hear from my sources.

Wow - that is CHEAP on the mini Nikkei!!! I'm paying triple that at IB. I need to check into this a little more - wow.

FYI, I have been in contact every month with an IB manager at their HK office and he assures me that the unbundled ¥ denominated products will soon be brought into line and finally be cheaper than the ¥ bundled rates. I keep asking him every month, and he keeps telling me soon, soon. I'll keep it up to date here when I see something real change. IB has been telling me 'soon, soon' for 4 years running on this issue!

Thanks for the post James.

All my best,
MK

Damn I was desperately hoping there would be english on that site by now. I can't read nothing there.
